@MartinBarrow
From the case review - *four" police officers attended the school on the basis that the girl "smelled of cannabis". That's one hell of a disproportionate response!
@Aja02537920
Just so as I'm clear - Jon Stonehouse of Blackpool, Lancashire, director of 2Beards Limited which is a film production company, went to
#LetWomenSpeakLiverpool
with the intention of battering women?
I hope my post doesn't get retweeted...
@effingfaded
With that single sentence, you show how much you hate a) women, and b) bodies in general. Mature women with "perky" breasts have had cosmetic surgery - they deny the reality of their age, like trans deny the reality of their sex.

When were the social media team given sufficient power to set policy like this? AndyM is unlikely to have a good day tomorrow π€£π€£π€£π€£
@angijones
Does he go round with the vacuum cleaner and mop every day? Can he create a roast dinner for six people with 20 minutes notice? Does he arrange flowers like a pro? If the answers are "Yes", he's still a man regardless of what he thinks.
@HHS_ASH
Lobotomies were "well established medical practice" too. Gender affirming care has virtually no scientific basis. Put your money where your mouth is and fund proper studies.
@MyNottingham
You really didn't think this through, did you? Your legal team are going to love you - you've given them lots of work. External solicitors will thank you - you've just made them lots of money!

She really don't understand how inventive people can be when it comes to assault, does she? Poor girl - if she'd had proper support for what has obviously happened to her, she would not have needed to self-harm like this.
@Independent
Two questions:
1. Why has this become a "hill to die on"? Trans ideology should never have got a hold in a sane world.
2. Given that it has become a "hill to die on", why aren't more people joining us in the defence of reality, women and children?
@IcyVert
Keep your hands to yourself. Never touch anyone, especially a woman, without their consent. You *may* be completely harmless, but no stranger can know if you are or not. Have respect, man.
@Jencohn201
@femmehonnete1
It isn't courteous in any way. The question is being asked for the benefit of the questioner's sense of moral superiority, not for the person asked. It is actually offensive, just like asking sexuality, religion or ethnic background.
@HazelAppleyard_
Bloody hell, Hazel! I approach your tweets with caution at the best of times, but thus us the first one that really bothered me. This man is beyond the pale. I'm sure he'll make an excellent case-study for someone in the future.
@RoisinMichaux
This is one reason they support "trans children" - puberty blockers keep a young person physically and mentally childlike for many years. It means that a child abuser can keep his victim for longer.
@MattWalshBlog
I'd just *love*to work with someone who uses that that tone of voice. Totally patronising, like some born-again Christians I've known. How the hell is that woman involved in working with other people?
@lorcaat
Even if no one had been raped, that is incredibly bad taste. It's a public* space - children will see it. Not acceptable.
*Yes. I did check my spelling.
@HazelMurphyyy
A phobia is an *irrational* fear of something. Your fear of TIMs is not irrational, therefore "transphobia" is a nonsense term designed only to shut you down.
@support_wren
@MForstater
More men need to get involved. Decent men, if you find a venue with mixed toilets, refuse to go back and make sure that the venue knows why as publicly as possible (social media, TripAdvisor, whatever). We need to show that it's not just women who don't want this.
@RosaZambonini
You might have the mental capacity to deal with only one thing at a time, but there are many people with intellects *far* superior than that. The people in Ukraine have my thoughts, but so do my sisters everywhere. I hope that doesn't blow your mind too much.
@MyWebDoctorUK
Well, thank you for this high-risk strategy that you seem not to have run past your legal team - you have shown that you have learned nothing, and still have no self-awareness. I'm sure this will be taken fully into account when consideration is nexy given to your case.
@AnnelieseDodds
It appears that you do not understand what the spousal consent mechanism does. It does not, as you imply, require that the spouse (wife) can refuse consent for the other's (man's) "transition", but that they do not consent to remain married. Why would you want to scrap that?
@ShayWoulahan
"Trans rights" have nothing to do with abortion, because men can't get pregnant.
"Trans rights" have nothing to do with feminism because men are not women.
"Trans rights" have nothing to do with LGB because het men are not gay, no matter how much they claim to be lesbians.
@JamesEsses
I long suspected - without any hard evidence - that there had to be some coordinated action to get genderwoo into schools. Ofsted were high on my list, because they are one of the common factors. Thanks for adding some meat to the bones, James.

Never. (Actually, I cheated - it's not an ethical issue, it's historical. Empirical evidence defeats ethics every time.)

@jk_rowling
An excellent example of phobia indoctrination and paranoia. Absolutely none of what you posted has any resemblance to the truth. Please, do yourself a favour and look at the facts, not echo-chamber fantasy.
@fenwench
It defies reason that anyone could claim that "this isn't rape". It matters not one jot that you knew the attacker. It is nonsense that you "should have expected it". The people telling you these things are a huge part of the problem. He was wrong, they are wrong, you are not.
@shengokai
Reality doesn't care if you're offended. TIMs *are* trying to appropriate womanhood because They. Aren't. Women. They have no claim whatsoever to be in women's spaces now or ever. Whatever the reason for their pretence, it always falls somewhere between delusion and dishonesty.
@lascapigliata8
This just keeps getting weirder. I'm trying hard not to take sides, but it's getting increasingly difficult. I can't stand by and see people like you and KJK having targets painted on them for TRAs to aim at simply because some unwritten rulebook isn't being followed. β€οΈβ€οΈ

@bindelj
Bragg, once again you demonstrate your utter disdain for women. The Lesbian Project, just like being lesbian, is *for* women who are solely attracted to other women. Yes, that excludes men - of all "identities" - but only as a side-effect. Why does that upset you? Answer, please.
@thenorthface
@pattiegonia
After viewing this, the best thing you can do,
@thenorthface
, is fire the lunatics who came up with the idea, then the ones who signed it off, and then the ones who gave it final approval. Once you can show this has been done, issue an apology - some people might accept it.
@Independent_ie
No matter how long you bang two sperm together, you'll never get an embryo. That means that there is at least one woman involved. Egg donation is not without significant risk, nor is pregnancy. These men are predators on women's health.

I stopped reading after the first interview began "I was born female and now I'm completely male," No one with that depth of reality denial should be given time in a serious debate.

That phrase is terrifying. The sentence, in a sensible world, would read "We will never support a woman against a trans woman". The USA is far along the yellow brick road when "women" refers to "not women", and real women get a prefix. All praise to TERF Island!

@jack_turban
You'll be able to cite peer-reviewed studies published in prestigious journals to back up your assertion that puberty blocked are temporary, reversible and have a better risk/benefit calculus than going through natural puberty, then, Dr Turban? I'll wait, but not hold my breath.

Conceived male, born boys, grow to men. That never changes. Sex is observed any time from a few hours after conception to a few minutes after birth, and can be reliably predicted before conception in vitro.
@rodneyberman
Hw is it "prejudice", Rodney? Are there any other aspects of objective reality you think it is prejudiced to recognise - age, species, gravity?
@bumcrackannie
I was at Warwick Arts Centre a few days ago. I was impressed that they have toilets for women, men, gender-neutral and disabled. It shows it can be done, and should be done more often.
@i_heart__bikes
A female name and long hair do not define being a woman. That is just another cheating man. Hie entire biology is different from the actual women on the podium, and the one who was cheated out of third place.

I suppose from some standpoints, going from biased to unbiased looks like bias. Of course those standpoints are those of the people who benefitted from the bias at others' expense, in which case their standpoint is irrelevant.

Thank you for going to observe the event, and for reporting so honestly. I don't know your work - did you have preconceptions beforehand, and, if so, have they changed?

@sparkycloud
You have a very funny idea of "best interests". There is nothing, absolutely nothing, good about "gender affirming care". Let children grow up with the maximum range of choices, life expectancy and natural organs.
@atheistathenian
I've tried a great deal to find even the smallest thread to pull at that would enable me to begin to understand the thought-processes of trans ideologues. The best I have come to is that they all think they should be able to do anything they can formulate in their heads.
@drewilliamson
@BristolUni
If they are reduced to this as a defence, then they must know their position regarding Raquel is utterly untenable. To claim that they have no duty of care is, quite frankly, rubbish.
From "the other place" π A good idea, but I don't think it needs to be restricted to women. Men - show your support for common decency
#KeepPrisonsSingleSex
@novaramedia
Recognising objective reality and pointing it out isn't "hate". There is a great deal of hatred for those who do, though - why don't you tell that story?
@MDayCassandra
This is going to be a very big case, I think. What the police are doing is unlawful. I don't know enough about what is going on to know if Girl Guiding has done anything unlawful - it depends who is doing the reporting and how - but who is going to trust them now?
@FaithfullyBP
What nonsense! Were stating (not debating) that objective reality exists, that gender stereotypes are harmful, that both sexes need spaces from the other, and that men present risks to women. Beyond that, dress as you please, love who you will, and live your best life.

So many broken laws in one tweet. I wish these things could be reported with confidence that the perpetrator would be investigated, not the person reporting.
@ilovepreserves
I think the other man clocked the TIM before the car journey, gave the TIM chance to come clean so a polite refusal could be given, then gave the TIM a lesson on the nonviolent consequences of deception. This could have ended very differently.

Another failure of leadership. The headteacher should be pulling her out of the classroom and telling her to use appropriate sanitary protection and get changed, or stay away pending disciplinary action.

When absence of evidence (because it isn't being collected) is being claimed as evidence of absence, it shows that TRAs know this is a war against women.
@haynes_wiley
The risk:benefit analysis of the current treatment of children discovering who they are very clearly points towards the risks significantly outweighing the benefits. The drivers of this unethical treatment path are complex, but need to be fought with everything we have.
@GBBranstetter
No one needs medical and surgical intervention to reject gender norms - especially young people. Gender ideology enforces harmful gender roles - behaviour defining a stereotype of sex - and heteronormativity - attraction defining a stereotype of sex. Please just stop.

Maybe I've moved in some strange circles, but I've peed next to blokes dressed well in dresses/skirts before now. It made absolutely no difference then, and I doubt it would now.

To be fair, looking at those exceptionally pasty white faces, none of them have ventured outside since well before first lockdown. I think it may have been some clever mums who came up with the "fight the oppression" idea to get them out so their bedrooms could be deep-cleaned.
@MeghanEMurphy
The annoying thing is that he so nearly has it - the external and internal parts *are* completely separate,and people react to the external (real) bit. However, he then undermines it in his justification for being in a women's changing room. He's a common-or-garden exhibitionist.
@RichardJGarside
I don't think I'd realised just how much the data are skewed by classing men as women. It's insane. I wonder what this looks like in countries where the data are even more difficult to unravel?
@jk_rowling
There is absolutely no innocent explanation for this decision. It is deliberately ignoring the legitimate interests of women prisoners and staff in order to make an ideological point. The people responsible should be made to pay.
